There is absolutely no evidence for this statement. It has ZERO credibility. Undoubtedly it will become an urban legend and even more people will believe it.

I wonder where we could find out how many packages between individuals the USPS handles? eBay has had 2,000,000 auctions. Not all culminate in a sale (no bidders). Not all are handles by USPS. BTW, I received a USPS package today, containing my eBay purchase and 3 more are on the way.
